Craig Frye: Sanitation District 1
This complex in Fort Wright, Kentucky is a wonderful demonstration of every aspect of stormwater management. From the green roof to the final delivery of the runoff to the nearby creek, you can see how permeable concrete and asphalt contribute to the slowing of the water flow as it goes from roof top and parking lot, swale, wetlands, rain garden, through native plants, holding pond, creek, Licking River and on to the Ohio River. http://www.sd1.org , 859-578-6744

The Boulter House was designed near the end of Frank Lloyd Wright’s life (1868-1959). The home is a unique, two-story south-facing Usonian. The "Usonian" term was coined from Wright’s vision of suburbia in the United States of North America offering well-designed homes for ordinary people. |
